Ihe promenade deck and

tourist ... whereas in most
other liners they are restrict-

The 15,000 ton vessel is notr
lacking in luxury however.
One of Holland's leading in-
terior decorators designed
and appointed the public
rooms which include a large
palm court, a library and'
writing room, a card room,
and a handsome lounge
which can be readily con-
verted into a cinema. In
addition there is a smoking
room, bar and attractively
decorated dining rooms for
both first and tourist class-

Although the Ryndam ca-

long groaned in the most
horrible servitude. The col-
onists had never thought of
creating an economic organi-
zation which might serve as
a model for the new freed-
men. Their system had rest-
ed' entirely on slave labor,
and tb enjoy the fruit of the
labor of others had been
their sole aim. They had
lost the incentive for per-
sonal effort'which compe-
tition develops and had ef-
fected a complete divorce be
tween .capital and .labor.
,The master does not work;
to be free is not to work,,,
was the detestable gospel
bequeathed by the colonial
system to the freed Negroes.
From a moral and intel-
lectual point of view, the
situation was even worse.
The' colonists of Saint-Dom-
inigue had set the example
for all sotrs of vices, and a
Frdnch author, Moreau de
St. MWry recalls that the'
white men had created no
schools in the colony, either
for themselves or for their
slaves. Toussaint Louver-
ture learned to read and
write when he was fifty
years old. The founder of
Haitian independence, Jean
Jacques Dessalines, was com
pletely illiterate.
For more than twenty
years, until Haitian indepen-
dence was officially recog-
nized by the French govern-
ment in 1825, Haiti remain-
ed in complete isolation, con
stantly apprehensive lest the
Frepch might return. This
fearful expectation kept all
the nation in arms and pre-
vented it from attempting
any serious effort toward
organization.

SThere is certainly not one
among the modern states
which started under such ad
verse conditions. But the
Haitian nation no longer
"presents, as it is evident at
first sight, the aspect of the
amorphous mob of 1804. It

For every super-super-
Iuxuty hotel, there are doz-
ens of satisfactory medium-
price hotels and the well-
trained low-cost traveler
soon will find his way to
even less costly hostelries,
pensions, guest houses and
homes of families willing to
take in a paying stranger.
As in Europe, and anywhere
else where tourists congre-
gate; the penny-pincher must
iurn his back on the haunts
of the Americans and do his
sleeping, eating and roister-
oing on the level of the resi-
dents. The standard of liv-
ing in most West Indies
countries is so much "lower
S than that back hoine that
one can live very comfortab-
ly here while indulging in
", tropical fruits and other
S foods that are exotic, to a
SYankee, but inexpensive.
FREE SIGHTS
SDuring the past two
-weeks that I have' spent in
.' ,tie Caribbean I have found
that on all of the islands
S-there is an overwhelming
list of prize attractions, most.
of which cost only energy to
S enjoy. San Juan, Puerto.
Rico, is full of relics of the
ast, particularly its rock
fortress, with its command-
ing sweep of 'the Atlantic.
Similarly the Leeward Is-
lands, the Virgin Islands, the
-Dominican Republic, Haiti,
S.Jamaica and Cuba, each
i las a quality of its own that
."appeals to topIsts. in great-
-ier or lesser :degee. Yet so
S .far as'I an/ conicetned, the.
S. arresting fact is that a man
'. an leap-frog from one is-,
: and to another at a cost
that "is nof prohibitive -
S, say about J2.50 dollars' a
:;day.. (The airplane fare of
,bout 227 dollars is another
::. ,.attern). '
Of all the cities sprawled
t inder thd hot Caribbean sun,\
: Port-au-Prince, Haiti, is per-
*: fiaps. he best refutation of
J~ he canard that a man may
s 1o bankrupt trying to fi-
nance three wdeki in the'
West Indies. In this vividly
F Iiicturesque metropolis of
'125,000, situated between
: *the' glinting waters of Port-
.. au-Prince Bay aid the peb-
: :ly, roads, up the: mountain-
side to the cool hotelss bf
Petionville and Kenscoff, it,
is possible to get almost as
much out of this staggering-
Sly beautiful country on that
12-50 dollars a dav as on 25
'dollars. As a matter of fact,
tourist travelirg on a shoe-
m:%String is apt to 'earn: a good
S-:deal nore about Haiti .than
a man living off an oil well.

Sheer necessity drives him
into a hurried intimacy with
Haiti. With the lush resorts
.out of bounds, he makes a
beeline for the less expensive
hotels (about 8 dollars or 11
dollars' a day) ot perhaps
one of the few pensions,
which often present a less-
diluted Haitian personality
than the higher-priced inns.
By the same token, the shoe-
string traveler gets around
town by riding in the
camionettes, used by the na-
tives (10 cents from door to
door), in preference to pri-
vate taxis. (almost invariab"
ly 1 dollar even for a quick
ride around the block).

Walking Around

Best of all, a lack of funds
sends him on one foot-loose
.expedition a f t e r another
through town. Without an
English-speaking guide im-
partipg such priceless infoi-m
action as, say, that only fifty-
three poinsettias bloomed
on a shrub on Rue Vernet
last year' \ in, contrast to
eighty-six the year before, a
tourist hasi aW opportunity
to see. Port-au-Prince through
his own_ eyes.
He can wander through
thd National Museum, the
showcase of the anchbr of
Columbus flagship Santa Ma
ria; ihe Iron Market, to view
the fantastic array of com-
modities as well as to hear
the bubbling' Creole patois
of the Haitians; the Episco-
pal Church, to see the "fifty-
foot-high religious murals
painted by such popular na-
'tie artists as Obin, Rigaud,
Auguste, Bazile 'and Dufaut;
the Museum -of Ethnology,
to examine the Voodoo and
folklore exhibits; and the
endless rows of art, curio
and mahogany shops. After
an independent tour of Port-
au-Prince, the conclusions
reached, by a tourist are hi;
own, nor just a playback of
.the orchestrated chatter of
the guides. What's more,
it's- on the house. "
Not The Ritz. ,
SWhere does the 12.50 dol-
lars go? My hotel is not a
hotel, it's a pension'.. It is
located- about fifteen mi-
nutes, by camionette, from
the stifling center of Port-
au-Prince, near a bridge
called Pont Morin. The first
time I beard .someone refer
to Pont Morin.. a picture of
one, of those points spanning
*he Seine came to mind.
Well, .Pnt Morin is another
Story. -It.is about nine feet

juggling of schedules. But
island-hopping to five dif-
ferent islands and the Isth-
mus of Panama in search of
luxury, and the round-trip
from New York costs only
468.28 dollars per person.
The two-week tourist can
not hope to put up at all the
swank hostelries throughout
the islands. So this'hypothe-
tical tour must limit itself to
a mere sampling. .
The first island stop is
Puerto Rico. San Juan, the
capital, has two pretentious
hotels, the Caribe Hilton and
the older but remodeled
Condado Beach Hotel. Typi-
cal top accommodations are
those of the Caribe Hilton's
Presidential Suite. This will
provide adequately for the
needs of two for about 65
Dollars a day in a bedroom,

Back to San Juan and a
connecting plane for the
hour's flight to Ciudad Tru-'
jillo, capital of the Domini-
can Republic, which built
the Jaragui Hotel as a na-
tional showplace. With its
sea view come tropical gar-
dens, humming birds,,beau-
tiful flowers and exotic tro-
pical fruits, and a gambling
casino not quite as cathedral-

though it serves its purpose.
